Woman admitted throwing the infant in garbage dump due to anger.

A police team reached the location and found the baby alive.

Later, she succumbed to her injuries in the hospital.

Continuous wails of her newborn baby drove a young married woman to madness as she threw her 25-day-old daughter in a garbage dump in east Delhi, police said on Saturday.

A resident of East Vinodpur, accused Neha was arrested for throwing her infant baby in a garbage dump, after which the baby succumbed to her injuries in the hospital.

"The woman admitted throwing the infant in a garbage dump saying she did so due to anger and frustration over looking after the baby girl," he said. The baby girl died at the GTB hospital in New Delhi on Saturday, a senior police officer told PTI.

On Friday, the incident was reported and police filed a case of kidnapping. While looking for the baby, Neha became the prime suspect in the case after a witness confessed to seeing the infant's mother throw something in the garbage dump, the officer said.
